It is time to raise the decay timer to 30 days

Hi, I think the decay timer needs to be raised to 30 days, people got to travel sometimes for 2+ weeks, and it sucks having to lose your castle because of it.

How to get around decay timers on Official Servers while you're away Players Helping Players

I’ve seen many posts especially recently on the advent of the change of decay timers. It has been covered before but I am going to list a few ways that you can log in remotely to refresh your base while you’re on vacation, business trip, ill, or taking a break You will need a compatible smart phone, access to the internet and allowance of about 5 minutes of your time while remotely connected to refresh your base. Some of these options have caveats, such as GeForce Now. This is t…

Why would you have to login from your phone when you need to be away? Why force players into unnecessary distraction or inconvenience when this can be easily fixed by raising the decay timer? Isn’t the purpose of the game is to have a happy & satisfied community of players? Balance is a key. Raising it to 30 days would address it heads on, and it’s a simple fix

You don’t have to.

The decay system is in place to mitigate player build clutter and abandonment. If you’re on an Official it is enabled on purpose because you share the server with others.

I personally think that if you can’t log in then you should just let it go. In fact, I would be unhappy with anything above 10 days.

The above are suggestions so that you can get around it. Alternatively you can add someone to your clan so they can refresh it for you.

I think it needs to be dropped back to a week. My opinion a good potion of the builds on the public servers are serial refreshers that are not actually playing the game. Just taking up space on the server.

10 days is fine as it is.

Serial refreshers are going to refresh regardless the time and it was bumped up to 10 days for a very good reason; it gives a chance for weekend players to save their stuff when major issues happen over the weekend.

Nothing on public servers is permanent.
You don’t own the land it built on, you are leasing and the upkeep timer is the recurring fee.

If you cannot log in, make a friend, add them to your clan, and have them refresh for you.
Of course, friendship and trust are precious commodities, and most people have precious little of either.

Norwegians will never understand raising the decay timer. Why? Because they quite possibly might be the only people on the planet that work so little they can’t understand not being able to login to a video game for 10 days.

I lived in Norway for a few years. While I was there I met many foreigners and one of them told me a funny joke other Europeans have to describe Norwegian work ethic:

An American, a Frenchman, and a Norwegian were sitting in a bar. As they were talking to each other each began to brag about their home country, and the discussion wandered over to who had the most beautiful women.

The American said that American women were the most beautiful because in America “Womens dresses were always tight, but not because the dresses were so small, but because the American women were so voluptuous!”

The Frenchman said: “Oh yeah, well in France when a woman rides a horse her feet almost drag the ground, not because French horses are so short, but because French women have such long legs!”.

The Norwegian man said: “Oh yeah!! Well in Norway when a man smacks his wife on the butt as he leaves for work, her butt is still shaking when he gets home from work. But not because Norwegian women have such big butts, but because the Norwegian work day is so short!”.

It’s no coincidence that, at least to my knowledge, the only Norwegian video game company also tanked games with big potential (like Age of Conan, The Secret World) and is known for creating buggy/glitchy games (Conan Exiles).

And what nation are you from so I can post an off topic, inappropriate, insulting post about your nation?

Naoimh · 2025-05-05T13:48:29.440Z

How about you just drink bleach instead?

This joke in my opinion gets only this…

Must be a bad translation, that makes 0 sense.

Naoimh:

Ah an American, you ever figure out how to get that UVlight inside you?
Don’t need to find things to insult America for, I can just give a list of facts right now.

You want to get in to this we can, I have no fear of flags or time outs. Take into account I’m a moderate progressive and think extremes on either side need to be set free of the rest of us before they drag us all to hell.

But know posts will be flagged, locked, and deleted.

I don’t use translation on my own language and nobody can translate old folklore Greek sayings unless he’s a Greek explaining it in other languages.
We often use this sentence for the looser who cannot reach the winner and will try to throw “mud” on the name of the winner.
The Scandinavian working model is by far the most “human” globally. Scandinavian societies are the best in matters of rights, equally on education,work safety and health treatment.
So there goes the saying @DeaconElie

I am so sorry, but it is right there,“It’s Greek to me”

THEMANTA · 2025-05-06T17:14:39.634Z

Why did you assume he was american? Plenty of people use the whole “drink b****h” thing as an insult (Censoring myself so I don’t get in trouble).

I’m going to assume you are Norwegian due to your outrage at a joke on the internet. I advise you to take the advice I have always given to people that get offended on the internet: Get some thicker skin, otherwise you shouldn’t be surfing the web.

I like how you threaten an insult with another insult, because two wrongs make a right eh? I have always found it humorous when people make threats on the internet, safe behind their little screens. Ignore the trolls and don’t respond to things you dont like, it just further stokes the flames. Live long and prosper, and may crom give you strength.

DeaconElie · 2025-05-06T20:44:16.653Z

Still of the opinion we need to go back to a week.
On the server I’m on I spend a lot of time on foot. And I check decay timers on some places; anything built on a path. I’ve watched so many drop down to the last day, then back to full. When I check the name it’s not one I see logged on at all; yes I check when I log in.

I have to wonder how many people aren’t players, they just serial refresh because they don’t want to lose what they have hoarded. But then you know I’m the wipe guy so…

LZB_Gattsu · 2025-05-06T22:06:36.783Z

I think it should be raised to 12 days, Up from 10. For example. In PA there was a bad Storm that knocked power out for some for 5-7 days. I was out all week. from Tuesday until Friday. Some folk didn’t get their power back until monday. If you hadn’t been online the day your base needed refreshing, there may have been a chance you got your stuff deleted.

So there goes the saying

The most “human”? You mean the most lazy, funded by UN/NATO military protection and lucky North Sea oil money.

Not that economic advice from the Greek who have needed multiple bailout packages to keep from declaring bankruptcy over the last couple of decades should be dismissed or anything. (sarcasm, of course it should)

It’s the internet, of course as someone who lived in a country for multiple years I look forward to being corrected by Googletards who’ve never even visited it.

Naoimh · 2025-05-07T12:28:13.770Z

That’s pretty much his MO. He has no ability to self reflect. It’s apparent in many of his posts. I guess some days he can’t spank it hard enough to get fulfillment and then comes to these forums to stir up crap out of frustration, all under the guise of sticking up for someone/something or trying to set the record straight, having zero idea of what he’s talking about.

Imbeciles like him are the worst though. He knows nothing about Norway or Norwegians. Half of my family is from Norway lol. I lived there for several years, not visisted, not vacationed, I lived there, I worked there. But I’m sure he knows more. He’s probably the type that thinks it’s “fascist” to say you’re more likey to find a pale skinned person in Ireland than the Congo.

I mean he literally assumed my nation of origin because of one statement and I GUESS??? proceeded to try and insult me with a stereotype about UVlight? No idea what that is about unless he’s referring to some research from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center?

That’s what impulsive/social disorder people like him do. Then when you call him out he’ll say he “fights fire with fire” or some stupid shit like that when he’s not that smart nor calculated. He’s reactionary and then puts more effort into trying to cover his arse with excuses than he does in his response.

Also:

“I got skin like an elephant.”

No, no he doesn’t. If he did he wouldn’t have gotten butt hurt about a FACTUAL statement about a country he has no ties to and no knowledge of.

What he has is a big mouth and a social disorder and the ability to hide behind the internet while running his mouth. He’s 1 of 2 things, a David Hogg esque beta, or a Francis esque fatty, with an axe to grind and the “balls” to grind it on the internet lol.

DeaconElie · 2025-05-07T13:40:08.788Z

I love when people self own.

I figure how much space I take up in some ones head by how big a post they make just about me.
Hell I got enough here to sublet, any one interested?
